Former Glee star Mark Salling is facing up to seven years in jail after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography.
Salling, 35, entered the plea at a Los Angeles federal court and is scheduled to be sentenced on March 7.
The actor, who played bad-boy Noah “Puck” Puckerman from 2009-2015 in the hit Fox musical drama, reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in October in which he admitted possessing images of pre-pubescent children.
The agreement states that a search warrant found more than 50,000 images and 600 videos of child pornography on Salling’s computer and a USB flash drive.
Police were reportedly tipped off about the images by one of Salling’s ex-girlfriends.
Prosecutors and Salling have agreed to ask a judge to sentence him to between four to seven years. He will also be required to register as a sex offender, pay restitution and abide by residency restrictions.
